        (x2)


Verse 1:
    
I'm closer to the golden dawn,
I can't believe the wagon's gone,
                     
It's history
    
I'm living in a callous realm,
Where others seem to dig it
                              
Just too much reality
    
I'm frightened by the total goal,
    
I'm drawing to the ragged hole,
                            
And I ain't got the wagon anymore,
                                  
   
No I ain't got the wagon anymore

Verse 2:
       
I'm the twisted name on Uma's eyes,
I'm living proof of Cindy's lies,
                   
Of destiny
    
I'm drawing between the light and dark,
Where others see their targets,
                             
I can't see anything

Should I leave the engine on,
   
To listen to that mountain song,
                                
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought,
                           
And I ain't got the wagon anymore


Chorus:
                    
Don't believe in yourself
                     
Don't deceive with belief
                                  
The knowledge comes with death's release
                     
Ahh oh....

Verse 3:

Not too stable hanging by a string
Can't face the thoughts no wheels will bring
                  
I gotta go
     
It's bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
                       
Is gonna show
      
If I don't explain what you oughta know
        
You can tell me all about it at the next ball show
                                
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
                       
And I ain't got the power anymore...


Chorus: (x3)
                    
Don't believe in yourself
                     
Don't deceive with belief
                                  
The knowledge comes with death's release
                    
Ahh oh....
